Barn Owl!!

Very information and accommodating of all ages. I would recommend children over the age of 5 though. My family walked away with a great experience, a better knowledge of raptors, and close up photos of 3 "ambassador" raptors. The team was knowledgeable and kind/excited to answer any questions. The raptors were beautiful. Overall 10/10!!!

A great non-ski activity outside Jackson Hole. Learned a ton- have a whole new appreciation for our raptors and the humans trying to take of them.

My friends and I got to experience the Teton Raptor Center through one of their outreach education visits while I was in Jackson. They came to the National Elk Refuge and brought several different raptors along so we got to see them and learn more about these awesome animals after the elk refuge tour. They had an owl, a golden eagle, a kestrel, and a red tailed hawk. The birds are so amazing and it's almost breathtaking to see them up close in person. The golden eagle and the kestrel were my favorites -- we learned about the sheer strength of the golden eagle's grip, which was mind-blowing! Its wingspan is huge! The kestrel is a very beautiful bird with blue feathers. The handlers from TRC were super knowledgable and happy to answer any questions. I am so glad we got to see these animals and learn more about the TRC's conservation efforts.

This is a raptor rehab center - you need to reserve the daily presentation (at 2 PM) in advance. It is not a zoo. We attended an hour-long educational session, but we wound up staying there for another half hour just talking to the staff about the great work they do (and donating to the Poo Poo Project - something not to be missed). What you see depends on which birds are being rehabbed. You could see an owl, a hawk, or an eagle... or other raptors. The key is in the presenter. Becky was great. She held the 4 of us in full attention for the entire hour - interspersing humor and bringing in the audience to participate.

Great presentation by professionals who are around raptors all day, every day. All ages benefit. Great cause for your donation.

Becky, who did the Raptor Encounter presentation, was on one of the best environmental speakers I have had the pleasure of listening to.

I've never been to Rexburg, ID. We heard about this place when we visited Pocatello on Valentine's…read moreDay but they were closed at the time. On Mother's Day weekend , my wife wanted to check out this place since we were all off. We also heard that you can pay to feed the bear cubs. Who doesn't want to feed a bear cub??? Unfortunately, bear cub feedings starts on Memorial Day weekend. This place is a drive thru experience where you will see beavers, deer, elk, and bison before you see the bears. There was a couple really cool whiteboard elk! The second half of the park you will go the through the bear exhibit. If you haven't seen a bear up close, this is the place to see one! Thank goodness for windows! We went around 10am and ALL the bears were active! They were charging one another and you suddenly have this sense of FEAR come over you as you see them charging your way! You can go around as many times as you like if you "bearly" saw anything. There are other exhibits such as a dinosaur area where they have life-sized models and one even had animatronics. We didn't go to this display this time around. The gift shop is conveniently placed in the middle of the park to lure you into purchasing your bear paraphernalia since you still have your emotions of experiencing a bear up close running high. It worked! We bought a bunch of cool bear souvenirs The petting zoo had a bunch of goats that will come running to you as you turn the crank on the pebble food dispenser and will steal all the pellets from your hand if you're not careful. Lol. Overall, this was one of the best experiences I've had at a "zoo!" We're coming back to feed a bear cub!!!

We spent two days in Idaho Falls, and on day two, we decided to explore some local attractions,…read moreincluding the Potato Museum and Yellowstone Bear World! We arrived without any expectations. The entrance fee was around $20 something per person, and we received two receipts: one for the staff at the bear habitat gates and one for our records. As we drove along the initial route, we spotted some harmless animals like bison and deer. Little did we know, a park ranger was observing us from a distance with binoculars! We were waved forward to the gate thought she caught me rolling down windows. Before entering, we were instructed not to open our windows under any circumstances, even if it seemed safe. Once inside the habitats, we saw a couple of bears, including one that walked right down the middle of the road! We followed him for quite a while, and it was thrilling to be so close to the bear. You can re-enter and drive through as many times as you want, but we felt that twice was more than enough for us. As for the gift shop, I didn't pay much attention since you have to walk through it to reach the restroom, which is located at the back near the petting zoo and the area where you can pay to bottle feed the cubs. The petting zoo didn't look particularly exciting, so we skipped that. Tips for Future Visitors: Clean Your Windshield: This will significantly improve your photos! Seasonal Closure: Keep in mind that they are already closed for the season. Best Time to Visit: We went in the afternoon, and most of the bears were sleeping. it was hot !I'm not sure what the best hours would be for seeing active bears. Overall Experience: I probably won't do it again, but it was nice to experience it once!
